Cynthia Erivo’s beige Birkin bag seems to defy the laws of gravity.
However, this isn’t your typical Hermès Birkin. The singer was recently seen with a Birkin of such immense size, it leaves us wondering what she might be stashing inside.
Our imaginations ran wild…
Could it be her iconic pointy Elphaba hat? Perhaps a few pairs of her beloved, towering platform heels? Or maybe even her petite “Wicked” co-star, Ariana Grande?
In many respects, Erivo’s latest ensemble perfectly captures her unique sense of style.
She’s unapologetic, larger than life, and, while she certainly knows how to slay in couture on a red carpet, she can also rock a pair of jeans or a simple slip dress with ease.
Erivo was spotted in New York City on Monday wearing a pair of cuffed wide-leg jeans, a gray cashmere cardigan, an oversized brown leather jacket and pointed-toe black heels.
She stacked her jewelry with effortless style, layering a collection of necklaces, earrings and rings with mixed metals and gemstones.
However, it was a ginormous beige Hermès Birkin 50 with palladium hardware that caught our attention. Hanging from the crook of her arm, the bag spanned from her waist to her knees.
The bag measures almost 21 inches from base to top of handles, totalling over one-third of Erivo’s height, sans heels.
Though the five-foot-tall performer toted the designer accessory around with ease, it seemed quite full in silhouette — in other words, the bag wasn’t an empty, ludicrously capacious statement-maker.
While Hermès doesn’t publicly list the price of new Birkin bags (they vary by leather and hardware style, regardless), 1stDibs currently lists a vintage Birkin 50, similar to Erivo’s, for close to $34,000.
It is, of course, the largest Birkin bag that the design house makes.
But who needs a witch’s broom — or even Toto’s wicker basket — when you could travel by designer bag?
We’re secretly hoping Erivo’s two petite pups, Caleb and Gigi, travel by Birkin.
